张百乔女友裸照 will be hosting the Winter School (脡cole d鈥檋iver) in partnership with the Institut du Nouveau Monde on March 4, 5 and 6. The Winter School will bring together students from colleges and secondary schools to discuss and exchange on social and political topics, and to develop their abilities to be active members of society, under the general rubric of Without Limits. This is the first time the 脡cole d鈥橦iver will be held in Montr茅al and the first time it will be at an Anglophone cegep, with all activities in both French and English.

Programming

At the 脡cole d鈥橦iver will be round table discussions on the Refugee Crisis, on First Nations after Idle No more, on Radicalisation in Qu茅bec, and on the link between our society and mental illness. Students will then chose what are termed 鈥減rofiles鈥 from among Young Women and Involvement, Identities and Dialogues, Democratic Reform and a special profile for secondary students called Initiation. More information can be obtained in the attached document.

Some of those that have already confirmed their participation in the 脡cole d鈥橦iver are Denise Otis from the United Nations High Commission on Refugees (who will also be speaking at Social Science Week), 脡milie Gauthier-Par茅 from the Red Cross, Widia Larivi猫re from Qu茅bec Idle No More, Geoff Kelley Qu茅bec Minister of Autochthone Affairs, Jean-Guy Lacroix philosophy professor CEGEP Vieux-Montr茅al and Youssef Shoufan founding member of Syrian Eyes of the World and Art for Syria.

Students will be exposed to many interesting ideas, interact with many active, engaged members of Qu茅bec society and politics, and work together to develop their own abilities to be active members of our society. At the end of the 脡cole d鈥橦iver, we are planning that each of the profiles produce a statement or product to be sent to decision makers in society that reflects their discussions and perspectives.
